Wind Energy Siting - Project Purpose
Provide technical support to the State of Rhode Island to facilitate the siting
and permitting of land based commercial (100 kW) to municipal scale (1.5MW)wind energy facilities in the State of Rhode Island.
Understand and compile the best available sciencespecific to the Rhode
Island landscape
Provide Rhode Islands state agencies and municipalities with guidelines and
standardsto better manage and regulate the wind energy industry
Provide mapping products and siting decision support tools
Apply an integrated public processthat fosters and engages a well informed
and well represented constituency

Wind Energy Siting - Wind Profile Data Collection,Selected Sites in RI
Objective:Acquisition, analysis,and distribution of wind data to
support wind resource assessment.
Goal: Substantially strengthen the
quality and quantity of wind data(including vertical structure) to
reduce the uncertainties in the
wind resource analysis.

Wind Energy Siting -Acoustic & Flicker Fields
Investigate variations in noise levels
caused by differences in wind speed andatmospheric conditions.
Provide noise level contours around a
wind turbine so that guidelines can be
established on setbacks from the turbine. Provide guidelines on minimum setbacks
from the wind turbine to avoid problems
associated with flicker. The rotating wind
turbine blades can cast moving shadows
that cause a flickering effect and can
affect residents living nearby.

Wind Energy Siting -Avian Ecology Birds & Bats
Literature review summarizing the effects
of terrestrial wind turbines on birds and
bats, both in the United States and
Europe.
GIS maps for the following information:
1. Distribution of breeding birds in Rhode
Island;2. Distribution and abundance of birds in
winter in Rhode Island (based on
Christmas Bird Counts);
3. Distribution of federally-listed and
state-listed threatened or endangeredspecies in the Rhode Island.

Wind Energy Siting - Public Engagement
1) Gauge public / stakeholder
understanding of renewable energyissues in order to design education
& outreach tools
2) Provide research and technical
information to stakeholders in a
format that is clear &understandable
3) Identify key issues of public interest
and issues of concern and
opportunity
4) Reflect public preference for various
forms of public participation
